Re: [FWDLK] 350 Block Questions

[Eastern Sierra Adjustment Svc <esierraadj@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Don't think that anybody's mentioned this, on this thread, but
the 350 B block was the standard engine on the 1958 Custom Royal
and Custom Sierra wagons.

The 361 single-4 bbl engine was the standard D500, with the
dual carb 361 as the Super D500 engine.
